May 2012 First Time Moms

Welcome to the MAY 2012 FIRST TIME MOMs! You and your board-buddies will journey together through your pregnancies and beyond, so it's up to you to make your board what you'd like it to be - keep that in mind as you post!

These are your Group Owners: tattooedmommy2012, MiZZCoOKiE562, springobabyspring, x2zhazie, Halloween_Lovers

PLEASE feel free to PAN any of us with questions or concerns you may have. A little about us:

MiZZCoOKiE562: Hello Ladies, my name is Yessenia. A little about me I am 22 years old. I am a SAHM at the moment. I have a beautiful daughter who owns my heart and soul. She was a full term baby. We made it to our 40 weeks. And I am happy she is here. I have had a mc before so for her to make it to be a full term was a blessing. She had Jaundice when she was born. She is striving now. Hope to get to know some of you on a more personal note.

Halloween_Lovers: Hello mommas! :) My name is Kayle, I'm 20 years old. I have a daughter who was a welcomed surprise. She was born at 5:20 a.m. the day after her due date and I had her all natural (no pain medication). As much as it was intense and painful, I'd definitely do it again.
I love my daughter more than I ever thought possible. Still am in awe of her everyday. She's a tough cookie and such a good baby. :) My DF and I are very blessed.
I'm a SAHM right now until I go back to school for Graphic Design hopefully next fall. I'm a sucker for DIY projects, I crochet, draw and write.
Just want to share a quote too. I try to think of this everytime I feel insecure with my parenting (especially with being a young FTM), "There is no way to be a perfect mother, but there are a million ways to be a good one."
I hope to get to know everyone as our LOs grow and while we do too as mothers :)

Springobabyspring: Hi Ladies! My name is Melissa. I am 29 years old and married to the love of my life. We welcomed our May baby 9 weeks early. Not something you could ever plan for or even be prepared for. I am more than happy to try to help you with any issues that may arrise. I am an EP, STHM, and Mommy to a preemie. I hope to get to know more of you better! Please feel free to PAN me with any questions!

x2zhazie: Hi ladies! My name is Angie I am 25yrs old about to be 26 in October. My baby was born right on her due date May 22nd but after opening to 8cm she just didn't want to come down she was being stubborn. I had to get a csec after 5hrs of no progres. She is perfect me and df are super happy with her and so is our family, we were all waiting for a little girl. We decided to name her after his mom who passed away from cancer when he was 13 years old. I go back to work in two weeks and I am so sad about that I wish I was able to stay at home with my lo. I love dyi just like kayle. I love painting when I get a chance to. Hope to get to know you all a little more and become friends. I don't have any close friends that are first time moms.

tattooedmommy2012: Hello ladies and welcome!
A little about me and mine.
i'm 33 and married my husband ( 3rd times a charm! ) on March 22.the following day, I ended up in the hospital with severely high blood pressue and 2 days later diagnosed with pre eclampcia and then induced the following afternoon, and delivered my daughter 15 hours later via c-section. Talk about a whirlwind week!
Our daughter ended up being 7 weeks early according to my early due date by ultrasound, however dh and I as well as her dr's suspect that my due date was off and that she wasn't as early as suspected. We think she is more 36 weeks instead of 33 weeks.
I've talked about her birth a few times especially when it comes to c-sections. granted they did let me labor, and my induction was amazing! I didn't feel much of anything for 12 hours. Then they did my epidural and still didn't feel anything lol! It wasn't til she had major heart decelerations and was pushing down in a strange spot that I felt something.
Anyhow. she's not 5 months on the 27 and suprises me every day! She's the light of my world. While I had planned to return to work after her birth, life had other plans and the lose of my job, a move. I get to be a stay at home mom for a while, so between taking care of her and being a wife to my husband I am also a full time student.
busy life, lol
